Awesome paper!
Rendering of Ziegler–Natta zirconium catalyst with blue-green translucent sphere representing the Zr atom, and ball-and-stick rendering of cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings and methyl group
Screenshot of Avogadro 2 template tool, indicating a tab for Element: Formal Charge: and the options for Coordination selected, with options 1: Linear, 2: Linear, 3: Trigonal Planar, 4: Tetrahedral, 4: Square Planar, 5: Trigonal Bipyramidal, 5: Square Pyramidal, 6: Octahedral, 6: Trigonal Prism, 7: Pentagonal Bipyramidal, 8: Square Antiprism
Ball and stick rendering of chlorophyll c2 molecule with larger green sphere representing the Mg(II) ion
Screenshot of symmetric (D5d) ferrocene with rotation axes illustrated as red cylinders. Orange sphere is an iron atom, and grey-white cylinders indicate the cyclopentadienyl ligands. Dialog text indicates D5d symmetry, tabs for "Molecule", "Operations", "Subgroups" with operations active, indicating a table of symmetry elements, classes, and element. At the bottom of the dialog is Tolerance: Normal and a button "Detect Symmetry"
Inorganic and organometallic chemists — Avogadro 2.0 is for you...
A new template tool lets you build octahedral, tetrahedral, and other complexes in seconds. Click to add functional groups. Avogadro also detects symmetry and displays symmetry elements
